C&D winner. Again ran well when ¾-length second of 9 to Across The Nile in handicap (11/4) at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Now 7 lb better off (including jockey's claim) with Across The Nile so could reverse the form.

Forecasts

Light Lily (15/8), Across The Nile (15/8), Cool Vixen (7/2), Port Noir (4/1), Hurricane Helen (17/2), Vivency (17/2)

LIGHT LILY and Across The Nile finished second and first at Kempton earlier this month, but the 7 lb swing in the weights (taking into account Luke Catton's useful 5 lb claim) can see Light Lily reverse the form. Cool Vixen, who has been running well this season for her new yard, is another to consider.
